A non-bindingreferendum onprohibition of liquor was held inSweden on 27 August 1922.^[1] The proposal to prohibit the sale of alcohol failed, with 51% voting against the change on a turnout of 55.1%.^[1] Voting patterns were sharply divided between men and women, with 59% of women voting for the proposal and 59% of men voting against.

Campaign

[edit]

There was plenty of campaigning from both sides, the best remembered^{[citation needed]} poster being one designed by artistAlbert Engström, with the famous quoteKräftor kräva dessa drycker ("crayfish require these drinks").

Both proponents and opponents of the prohibition used similar arguments based around the breakdown of family life and Swedish society.^[2]

Left: "Payday evening — vote yes!"; A poster of a drunk husband in front of his weeping wife and children, encouraging voters to vote for prohibition
Right: "Crayfish require these drinks — You must abstain from crayfish if you do not vote no on 27 August"; A famous poster by Albert Engström, encouraging voters to vote against prohibition
